Peonies Background Hidden Greetings

Hi,

I got some time to play with some new stamp and die I bought using the gift card I received from Simon Says Stamp for being their Guest Designer for the SSS Flickr Challenge in August.  

Thank you so much Simon Says Stamp!!

Let's take a look.

The 6x6 Peonies Backgroup Cling Stamp is gorgeous!!  I heat embossed it in Brass on a multi media paper panel, and watercolored.

After eveything is dried I trimmed it into two panels, one standard A2 size panel for the front of my card and another 1 3/8 by 4 1/4 inch panel to decorate the flap of the envelope.

Then I used Simon Says Stamp Perforated Flaps Wafer Dies to die cut the flap on the watercolored panel.  Since the watercolored panel is quite thick I used an exacto knife to cut along the perforated line to facilitate the opening of the flap.  

The Peonies Background image is a little busy, and the area where the flap isn't obvious.  So I applied another layer of watercolor over the flap area to make it darker and I also colored in the background of the image in blue.

I white heat embossed some sentiments on a standard A2 size hot pink card panel, and glue the died watercolor panel on top after I rounded the corners.    

Here's a little video showing how it works.
